Leidos is seeking an experienced Cloud Operations Manager to lead cloud operations and service delivery initiatives supporting the United States Coast Guard's Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence Service Center (C5ISC) in Alexandria, VA. In this role, you will lead a high-performing team responsible for delivering secure, reliable, and modern IT services across AWS and Azure cloud environments that support critical Coast Guard missions. You will partner with government leadership and cross-functional technical teams to drive operational excellence, strengthen cybersecurity, modernize cloud services, and improve mission outcomes across the Coast Guard enterprise.

This role bridges program management, technical execution, and customer liaison, with accountability for day-to-day operations. Some of the areas the candidate will be responsible for are service delivery and performance management, customer and stakeholder engagement, incident management, continuous improvement, modernization and people management activities.

Primary Tasks:

  • Lead secure, reliable, and high-performing cloud and IT operations across AWS, Azure, cybersecurity, service desk, and application support environments supporting critical U.S. Coast Guard missions.

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to government stakeholders, providing operational insights, executive-level performance reporting, risk assessments, and strategic recommendations that support mission success.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop high-performing technical teams, ensuring the right skills, resources, and priorities remain aligned to evolving operational and mission requirements.
  • Strengthen the program's cybersecurity posture by maintaining compliance with federal security frameworks and standards, including FISMA, NIST RMF, FedRAMP, DoD Impact Levels, and Zero Trust initiatives.
  • Drive rapid incident response, proactive problem management, and operational governance practices - including Change and Configuration Management - that improve service reliability and minimize mission disruption.
  • Partner with agency security leadership to support audit readiness, vulnerability remediation, Authority to Operate (ATO) activities, continuous monitoring, and ongoing compliance efforts.
  • Advance cloud modernization initiatives by leveraging automation, cloud-native technologies, Agile delivery practices, ITIL service management, and DevSecOps methodologies to improve operational efficiency.

  • Lead operational governance through performance management, resource planning, workforce development, and strategic roadmap execution to ensure long-term program success.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance service delivery through developing innovation, automation, and operational best practices that improve customer outcomes and mission readiness.
  • Represent the program across cross-functional teams, government stakeholders, and enterprise modernization initiatives, helping shape the future direction of cloud operations supporting the U.S. Coast Guard.
  • Identify and solve complex problems that may involve multiple stakeholders, other projects or teams external to the Operations team – communicates with parties within and outside of own area and requires the ability to influence others on policies, practices and procedures.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
